On that note, I spoke with Matthias off-list, and he pointed out this patch:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAEze2Wh9JjLKdN3dHPF%3DNejzf%3D9fDfcYAqM6j1xHJqOFALfDgQ%40mail.gmail.com

It makes changes to the table AM API, to fix an existing bug. If that's 
how we want to fix it, now's the last chance to make table AM API 
changes for v18.

An argument against doing it now is that we need to come up with a 
back-patchable fix anyway. That'll probably be more hacky, but there's 
little harm in doing it the the same hacky way for one more release.

(I have not looked at the patches, so don't know if there are other issues)
